We've looked at the upcoming 3DS Harvest Moon a few times before, so it's with some relief that just three days before the game launches in Japan the Harvest Goddess has shown her face, alongside two more new neighbours that will no doubt make life on your farm much more interesting than it would be otherwise.

The Goddess herself, while powerful, is apparently a bit childish and doesn't have her abilities entirely under her own control — hopefully it's nothing a bit of practise won't fix! The other two characters are a short-tempered young witch who decides to settle down in the village just because she feels like it and Doctor Marian, who likes to hear all the local gossip from the people attending her clinic.

Are you looking forward to a new Harvest Moon or are you all farmed out? Let us know in the comments section below.
